Indiana Online, a department of the Central Indiana Educational Service Center, launched the Indiana Online Academy during the 2021-2022 school year.
The Indiana Online Academy (IOA) was developed to help Indiana school districts provide a high-quality, full-time virtual option for students in grades 5-12. After 15 years of successfully delivering supplemental courses to Indiana high schools, IOA expanded to intermediate and middle school courses. Employing 18 full-time teachers to deliver instruction to students in both synchronous and asynchronous formats, the Academy provides a unique, flexible, and personalized approach to student learning.
The Academy allows school districts to enroll students who wish to receive their education in a virtual setting but remain a part of the school community. “We are so excited to be able to partner with Indiana school districts to assist them in providing an alternative way to educate their students,” says Kara Heichelbech, Director of Student Learning at Indiana Online. “Virtual education is the perfect solution for some students, and we are honored that our partner schools trust us to support and serve their students.”

It is our honor to introduce our full-time teaching staff:
